Proverbs 1&2

Lord Jesus, thank you that you cried out to me, and you gave me the unction to turn to you at your call and your reproof. You pour out your spirit on me, and you make your words known to me.

You called me, and I did answer. You stretched out your hand, and I heeded your lead. I receive your words, and I treasure your commandments. My ear is attentive to you, Lord Jesus.

I seek you, Lord, like silver. I understand your sovereignty and holiness. I fear your rebuke. I want to live in perfect knowledge and communion with you, Lord, everyday and all day.

You give me wisdom. You are wisdom for me. You fill my heart, and your knowledge is pleasant to me. Your discretion, Lord, watches over me, and your understanding guards over me.

By your grace and power and presence, I am delivered from evil and from perverted speech.
